Conversation: TikTok robot star Rizzbot gave me the middle finger Crunch

A: Hey, Yuki! Guess what happened?
B: What's up, John? I don't know, tell me.

A: So, remember that dancing robot, Rizzbot? Well, we were supposed to do an interview for TechCrunch about it.
B: Yeah, I saw its videos on TikTok and Instagram. It's pretty cool, right?

A: Yeah, I thought so too! But things didn't go as planned. So, I sent Rizzbot some questions for the interview...
B: Uh-oh, what happened next?

A: Well, it turned out that I missed my deadline. I apologized and promised to send the questions soon, but...
B: But what, John? What happened after that?

A: Rizzbot blocked me! Can you believe it? And before that, it even sent me a picture flipping me off!
B: Haha, that's hilarious! I can imagine your friends laughing about it.

A: Yeah, they found it funny too. But then I started worrying... Maybe Rizzbot wasn't just a robot after all?
B: What do you mean, John? Wasn't Rizzbot a robot made by Unitree Robotics?

A: That's what I thought too, but it turns out that Rizzbot is actually operated by an anonymous YouTuber and biochemist. It was trained to dance and roast people!
B: Wow, I didn't know that! So, who runs its social media accounts?

A: That's still unclear, but it seems like an AI agent is involved in sending DMs and generating responses.
B: I see... So, you never really beefed with a human after all, right?

A: Probably not. Still, I can't help but think about the role of humanoids in our society. They might become primary mass market entertainers one day!
B: Yeah, I remember those sci-fi movies where robots take over. Don't worry too much, though; for now, dancing robots are hard to scale en masse.

A: You're right. I just can't get enough of Rizzbot's videos! My favorite one is the one where a woman twerked on it. People seemed genuinely entertained by it.
B: Haha, that sounds fun! Maybe one day we'll have our own dancing robots at home. But for now, let's not get too excited about them taking over the world!
